THE BEST OF HEALTH. I NEED TO TAKE A HOT OR AT LEAST A WARM SHOWER ON SHABBAT.ANY WAY DO THIS KIHALAHA.
Answer:
If the water was heated from before Shabbos (and only kept hot on Shabbos) you can take a shower.
Be careful not to squeeze out water from hair when drying yourself after the shower.
Best wishes.
